In connection with Mr. Aliff’s election to the Board, he will receive cash and equity compensation consistent with the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). A description of the Plan can be found in Exhibit 10.1 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2018, and is incorporated herein by reference.
